Kung ga-graduate ka ulit, sino ang gusto mong guest speaker?
If you were to graduate again, who would you want to be the guest speaker? If I have any say on the matter, ban all politicos - they have nothing to say except promote themselves to the public. We need speakers who will inspire us, who could give meaning on being a UP graduate! With the hundreds of UPLB alumni out there who are excelling in the field, why can’t we get one each year to be speaker? We have many outstanding scientists worth hearing them talk not only on their work but also the wisdom they can share. Di ba kayo naiinggit na walang kumakalat na emails about the speech of a UPLB guest speaker that is worth passing around? A message that would go beyond the graduates, but reach out to others as well?
Since I started this question, I’ll answer it first. You can answer up to three, any person you can think of (kahit na si Superman 
pa, kahit di UPLB alumni…).
1. Dr. Dolores A. Ramirez - She taught Bio30 to generations of UPLB students. I would love to hear her talk beyond science.
2.Norman Borlaug - how about another green revolution?
3. How about an OFW na UPLB graduate?

I guess I’d choose Mrs. Juana P. Gapud, my high school teacher known for her renowned statement “Wrong grammar, no credit.” She was a strict and demanding teacher, always challenging her students to work hard, to improve themselves.
during our graduation rites (april 2005), it was mr. wilfredo david who became our guest speaker. it’s weird because he was the chancellor of elbi during that time…wala cguro silang nahugot na maganda gandang guest speaker..I can’t think of anyone who could have been a better guest speaker during that time..but it shouldn’t been david, duh?!
i would like to hear from ciel habito. the first male summa cum laude. he is humble and a toym awardee. he has a lot to share about our economy.
